TWO YEARS OF REFORM.


 Yesterday completed one-half of Presi- dent Cleveland's term, and the New York Tribune thought it a good time to review his record and to show how he has reformed things. It appears that more than half the officials in the public service, exclusive of the army and navy, have within two years been changed, while the appointments in place of officers whose terms have expired, as far as can be ascertained, seems not to be more than third of the whole number made. In one department only an official statement shows that in one fiscal year %, TAT appointments were made, and other in- formation seems to justify the conclusion that in the two years thus far at least 50, 900 persons in all departments have been ap- pointed, which is 2,0S3 for each month, 80 for each working day, about 10 for each working hour and 1 every six minutes, throughout every working day from the 4th of March, 1885, to the 4th of March, 1887, of this s'Civil Service Reform administration. !"
 The Tribune charges, aud brings evidence to support the charge, that President Cleve- land has removed, suspended and called for resignations of more public officials and more officials of admitted worth and fitness than any other President in American history. Even Andrew Johnson, when he betrayed the party by which he was elected and strove to break it down by use of his patron age, made fewer changes in two years than President Cleveland has made. Some of the peculiarly offensive mistakes which Presi- dent Cleveland has made are thus spoken of: A hardened perpetrator of election frauds, the tool of most interruptions manager, was deliberately made appointment clerk of the treasury after volumes of protest and ev- idence had been placed before the President by honest Democrats. A vilifer of Lincoln was made pension clerk, and a scarf pin from the skull of a Union soldier is daily worn by an officer in one of the depart ments. Commissions are given to many con- victs, and to some persons who were in jail when appointed. Judges are appointed who know nothing of law, and others who are swindlers, and land shark is made chief justice of @ territory. The few un- pardoned rebels are selected for distinction; minister is sent to Italy and to Austria whom both nations refuse to receive; wife beater and drunkard is sent to uphold the honor of the flag at a foreign port; swim ding dealer in old clothes at another; a minister at foreign court gets drunk and another engages in collection of claims against the government to which he is sent This is a sharp arraignment. It throws much light on President Clevelands real un- derstanding of his noble declaration that pub lie office is public trust

times eight is thirty-six, etc., and you must repeat what he says without the slight est hesitation. Men often get caught at this, hearing only one part and supply ing the rest if it were correct multipli- cation.
 q learned, too, that some men during the five years save as much as one thou sand, becoming teachers and doing extra duty for which there is extra pay. Others lend money interest to their comrades and make good deal that way. Besides this, there is sort of savings bank estab- lished by the government which pays inter- est on the savings of the soldiers. One can also save on the allowance for clothing and the home fare allowed after your term of enlistment is over. Three quarters of the western ranchmen, I am told, are ex-soldiers who have invested their savings in land out there. A great many who enlist in the cavalry are well educated college bred men.o

men claim that at an altitude OF 5000
feet the st. Paul horse lacked the lung
power to carry him to success, although
they admit that he may be "a dandy"
on race courses nearer the level of the
sea. They say that horses bred in Mon
tana gain very great lung power and
staying qualities in the raritied air of
that region, and that trotter that could
go at 2::25 at Helena or Butte, would be
able to lower his record five or seven
seconds if trotted on a Minnesota race
course. On this ground, moreover, they
claim that the future breeding ground
for race horses will be on the great
ranges of Montana. All this is quite
important to horse breeders, if true,
and my informant seems to have been
convinced by the argument, taken to
gether with the fact that several Ken
lucky horscmen are bringing up colts in
the Territory.-Pioncer Press.

Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, d. c. Aug. %, 1887
(from our Regular Correspondent. J.
Invitations to visit different cities anG
towns have so accumulated upon tn,
hands OF President Cleveland that i,
really has become necessary to employ
additional clerical force on this accoun,
alone. Had the tempestuous Tuttle
been able to force these results of his
blatant utterings, he surely would have
desisted, and such popular tributes would
perhaps neTer have been paid the Chief
Magistrate of tie nation. But in the
wise dispensation of providence, even
little Insignificant creatures like Tnttle
often mysterieusIy rise up and do good
without knowing how or why. Then, l
say, all hail Tuttle! His grateful coun-
try, especially the western and southern
sections, should arise and call him bless
ed for his instrumentality in arouslnc
the president to the importance of max.
ing the first extensive tour of his adj
ministration.
as reflect on the projected visit of
Mr.. Cleveland, I trust you will pardon
me for taking retrospective view of the
travels OF our earlier presidents. Mr..
Monroe was the first of them to carry
out the idea of Il trip of this kind.-trav-
cling in his coach through New England
and as far westward as Ohio, and being
everywhere cordially received, and, for
his time, it was quite tedious under
taking. President jackson Travelled bv
carriage all the way from Tennessee to
the capitol, and later in the same con-
veyance, made tour of New England,
which to the surprise of his political op-
ponents, who supposed it was an element
was continuous ovation,
adding greatly to his popularity.

"The AyarIGIOus Hand"

3ne of the main features of the remedi-
al legislation contemplated in the FIX.
ecntive call is the bounty bill, the obiec-
tive phases ofwhich the Governor points
out will, tersenrss and force. From the
present outlook 1t is doubtful il this law
can be abolished, although it may be
amended to meet part of the public re-
qrirements. Under its practial opera
tions, rs the Governor shows, the terri
torial treasury has been depleted, and a
public debt is being incurred. This is
departing from II sound financial policy
on trail which can but lead to debt and
to disaster. Something should be done
to remedy this evil and to stay the
avaricions hand that is being laid so
heavily on the Treasury hox of the terri.

A SEVERE STORM,

On Tuesday evening this community
was visited by slight fall of hail and a
dashing rain of few minutes duration,
which, from later developments, must
have been the tail end of the severe
storm which prevailed on the Yellow
stone from Glendive to Livingston. The
storm was the heaviest rain and hail
storm that has visited Montana for
years. Five bridges on the railroad
were washed out between Billings and
Forsyth, and train on Wednesday was
run west from Billings, no travel at all
being possible between Glendive and
Billings, owing to tho many washouts,
which would seem to indicate that the
storm spent its force as it proceeded
westward. The roadbed was damaged
at numerous places, owing to the contln-
ued rain which followed the first storm,
and continued unabatedly all night long.

To the voters of the Bozeman school dis
trict:
The trustees of this school district
have considered it advisable to submit
to its legally qualified voters on Saturday
October lst, 1887, the question of spe-
cial tax to raise $2,543O0, which will
require levy of two mills. The amount
will be required in addition to our pro-
portion of the general levy, to give us a
months school. 1t will be remember.
cd that the general school tax is this year
one mill less than usual -four instead of
Eve mills, } so that if this special tax is
voted twill be an actual increase of only
o0e mill.
We submit the question now, that the
money. if raised, may become available
this year. If voted later, the tax could
not be collected before December, 1888,
and if used for this years school, either
the district or the teachers would have
to stand discount.
That the question may be voted on
intelligently, We submit the following
estimate of probable receipts and expen-
ditures. We base the estimate of re-
ceipts on last years figures. The
division of our county may change our
proportion somewhat.
